"We (myself, husband and 5 and 8 yo) decide to take your advice {in
the White Hat newsletter] on Sunday and
headed into the city using our Sunday Saver tickets. We didn't quite make to
The Potter as we got side-tracked visiting The Magic Tent at the Art Centre,
followed by a visit to The Ian Potter Centre where the kids took part in the
NGV's Biggest (Kids) Drawing Ever. We now have to make sure we go back in
Sept for them to see the finished product. We then caught the tram to
Gasworks where we had a lovely time talking to Children's Illustrator Ann
James. My daughters were thrilled to be read a book which doesn't go on the
shelves for months yet (they were told they only about the 10th people to
hear it) and then we had a leisurely browse of the bookshop while the rain
poured down outside. The girls chose a book each, raced back up the stairs
to get Ann James to sign the one illustrated by her, and then we finished
with hot drinks in the cafe and a look at some of the artwork. A great way
to spend a rainy day and it cost us very little."

"I have just stumbled across your website and I love it! It’s so good to have all that’s on in Melbourne on one site. Thank you."

"I like getting all this info...it's easier using your web site and email than searching What's On in Melbourne via Google - ( search by date? by subject? - if you know all that you don't need to search, that's why White Hat is good)."

"The White Hat site is amazing - I can't believe how many things happen in this city that I don't take full advantage of! I have a friend visiting from Brisbane in a fortnight's time, and this site has helped me with dozens of ideas for what to do while he's here. Keep up the excellent work!"

Australian Student wins international inventions
prize for extracting water from air
White Hat congratulates Ed Linacre, a design student
at Swinburne University of Technology, for winning the prestigious
international James Dyson Award for his invention of a system of
extracting water from the air in drought prone country and directing
it to the roots of plants.
Even if it hasn’t rained for months, the air still
contains some water vapour. In fact warm is capable of holding more
water vapour than cold air as anyone who has lived in the tropics
will know. When warm air comes in contact with a cold surface some
of the water vapour will condense, hence the misted-up windscreen on
a cold morning. Linacre’s invention uses solar panel to create power
to cool the air, extract the moisture and distribute it at root
level to to the crop. You can read a description of how it works
here.

Germany Sets Aside $130 Billion for Renewable
Energy
German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced on 30 May
that Germany, the world's fourth-largest economy and Europe's
biggest, would shutter all of its 17 nuclear power plants between
2015 and 2022, an extraordinary commitment, given that they
currently produce about 28 percent of the country's electricity.It
is by any yardstick an extraordinary (and expensive) commitment that
may well have the collateral benefit of unlocking similar funding
worldwide for renewable energy projects.
